What I have accomplished:
The small Loop video Sometimes ... is now ready to roll, as soon as I get it back from wherever I have it hidden - thought it was on the small Mac, but of course, it should be on the external hard-drive, so am not sure where it is - still have to locate it. But I do know it is finished somewhere.The two big projects still aren't done - I spent hours faffing about with Final Cut Pro, making some slow progress, but not enough.
Another thing I nearly have done is the Proposal/Statement which has to be emailed by tomorrow afternoon. Actually, I still have to edit this down according to Claire's directions. Hopefully that won't take too long. Anyway, I will keep the long version, hopefully to keep myself on track.
Today Mary came and volunteered to help me to learn enough DVD Pro to be able to make the required Menu-driven DVD on which all the work will be submitted. After she was gone, I did a whole trial by myself, following the marvellous YouTube tutorial which took me through it step by step. Best of all, I learned how simple it is to make slide-shows, so that is something I will pursue to make my various photos available, if only to myself.
When Mary she suggested that I do something very short and simple, and I think she is right, so that is what I propose for the Camino piece, involving the theatrical lights.
She used a very good analogy that I think will help me focus.
If I think of the simplicity of the original idea of just three or four walks across the stage, and if a technician came in and insisted on using all the footage available, think how frustrated I would be. I need to get back to that simplicity. After all, all the edited footage, plus all the original stuff is all there for use in the future if I want it.
That just leaves Coombe - old and new. The audio is great, and maybe I should think of it just as a slide show with the audio behind it. Wonder would that work.
